Internet Fraud Guild membership regulations specify that every
nefarious attempt to solicit usernames and passwords must contain at
least one spelling or grammatical error. Sometimes you have to look
very closely to spot them.

In this case the giveaway was "temporal deactivation of your
account"

Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

Hey, what a great idea! After you all send your logins and passwords to some genius named "Help Desk", please forward them to me, too! It will make the arduous task of "confirming" your accounts just that much easier. Brilliant!
